Wednesday, May 31st, 2023 -- 9:00 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) The Department of Tourism says this should be a good summer for Wisconsin.

Tourism secretary Anne Sayers tells WXPR in Rhinelander that a number of major events this year should bring lots of travel to Wisconsin. That includes the US PGA Senior Open in Stevens Point and the 100th anniversary of Harley Davidson.

The Senior Open itself is expected to bring in 75-thousand people and over 20 million dollars to Central Wisconsin. However, many businesses and tourism locations are asking people to be patient as short staffing continues to be an issue.
